Take $10-15 to your local tackle shop and ask what works best on your local waters. They would know best. Tell them what your budget is and I'm sure they will work with you.
I find that natural pork beats soft plastic for my personal fishing. One jar of #147 Uncle Josh porker worms will last a very long time because you can just keep reusing it over and over. Just put it back in the jar after the fishing trip and reuse it on your next. I rig them texas style so all you would need for that is a package of hooks and a few bullet worm weights. You also need a good top water lure such as a lucky 13 or zara spook. Then a 3/8 Snagless Sally in black and yellow with a gold spinner and a #1 green spot pork frog trailer will cover most spinner bait needs.
So allow about about five dollrs for the fork frog. allow about six dollars for the porker worm, allow about two to six dollars for worm hooks depending on brand and number per pack, allow about five dollars for worm weights, allow around six dollars for a lucky 13, allow about seven dollars for a zara spook, and about seven dollars for a Snagless Sally.
So for around forty two to fifty dollars you can have almost all bass fishing situations covered. I know that a lot of people will not agree with my choices of what to have in a tackle box but the selection I gave you will work almost anywhere and under almost any conditions for the least money.
I agree with Santa... for $40-$50 you can be ready for anything. In the southern half of the U.S. rubber worms and jig 'n pig are top baits. In the northern half these lures are still good but the bass like crank baits like the Shadrap or Rapala too. The Lucky 13 is good up there too. If I could have only three to cover bass, it would be:
1. rubber worm... takes them all everywhere and gets them on the bottom where they hang out most of the day.
2. Shadrap best up north but they all go for it to cover top water and shallows
3. Lucky 13 for early/late top water and coming out of the rushes.
You can get these for under $20 and fish with the pros.
Note: I bet a friend who was a professional bass fisherman in Georgia that I could outfish him with a simple K-Mart prerigged rubber worm with a propeller on it. He gladly took the bet. We fished from 6:00 AM til dark and I beat him with it. He was shocked!
With bass, the most important things are being in the right place and having your hook in the water.
Spoons work good for me.
